EDITOR’S PAGE/Nim Marsh

Mad dogs, Ducks and PilgrimsNo other country looks after seago-

ing amateurs, tyros, and nitwits asdoes this country. If you get in a jamand you’re not too far away – and youcan go a mighty long way – you’ve onlygot to holler for the [U.S.] CoastGuard.This was not posted on a maritime

chat board in response to the Aus-tralian father-and-son duo that, inmid-February, departed Jamestown,R.I., in a long-dormant 43-foot sloopbought on eBay, bound for Australia.The above sentiments were, rather,expressed by voyager, adventurer andauthor Alan Villiers in 1938, in “Ad-venture” magazine. The more thingschange, the more they remain thesame.The Aussies sailed straight into

clearly forecasted blizzard conditions, including 52-knot (60-mph) winds and 25-foot seas 150 miles southof Nantucket – yes, to be rescued by the Coast Guard.For details of this escapade, see Bob Muggleston’s in-terview with the boat’s owner on page 20.

***In the October/November issue, we asked readers for

details about specific boats and designs that refusedto slip into the cracks between the dusty folds of theeditor’s cerebrum. Among these were the centerboardDuxbury Duck and the one-ended, keel/centerboardDuxbury Pilgrim, indigenous designs of the first halfof the 20th-century that thrilled a boy for whomDuxbury (Mass.) Bay was John Masefield andWinslow Homer rolled into one. Our first response was from Duck owner Matt Mur-

ray, of Kingston, Mass., who wrote:“The Duxbury Ducks are a John G. Alden design

with an overall length of 18 feet and a beam of six feet,four inches [and a maximum draft of two and a halffeet, perfect for Duxbury Bay]. Our boat, Merry Wing,was built by George Shiverick back around 1928. Shiv-erick was a well-known builder of boats in the Ply-mouth, Kingston and Duxbury area. He beganbuilding boats in the 1895, on the Jones River, inKingston, Mass., and built and designed over 350boats until he retired in 1940.“Our restoration began back in 2008, and continued

until Merry Wing was launched and sailed last fall.The boat was restored by an enthusiastic group of

many different folks, working onenight a week at the site of the origi-nal Shiverick yard, on the JonesRiver in Kingston, Mass. It was greatto restore this boat at the same placethat it was originally built. We feltthat Mr. Shiverick would have beenpleased to know that a boat he built85 years ago would be once againsailing the waters of Duxbury Bay.”Our first response regarding the

Pilgrim design came from a childhoodDuxbury acquaintance, who wrote:“Dwight Smith, owner of Long PointMarine (www.longpointmarine.com)in Duxbury, has a Duxbury Duck anda Pilgrim in his shed. He would bethe source of information about thedesigns.”We tracked down Dwight as he was

driving down the Florida Keys, and he put us in touchwith Sherman Hoyt, who told us: “The Pilgrim is 27feet overall. Roughly eight were built, in the 1920s and’30s. It’s a mini-J Boat. If you saw one out of the water,it made you cry. The Pilgrim Invader, in Long Point’sshed, is owned by a local couple; the Duck, Drake –stored on a sand floor so it doesn’t go out of shape – ismine.”Another Pilgrim, High Hat, is owned by Reuben

Smith’s Tumblehome Boatshop (www.tumblehome-boats.com), in Warrensburg, N.Y. Because High Hat isa ship of childhood dreams, we called Reuben, who toldus that the Pilgrim was designed by Crowninshield &Burbank as the Duxbury One Design Class. Three ofthe original eight exist today: Invader, High Hat and ahulk owned by a Pembroke, Mass., boatbuilder. Reubenalso gave us the elusive Pilgrim specs: LOA 26’ 9”, LWL16’, Beam 7’, Draft (board up) 3’, Sail area 350 sq.ft.“The Pilgrim was the first boat with a triangular, hol-

low mast,” Sherm Hoyt said. “It has a hell of a lot of sail,is a very powerful boat, and [with its draft] never didwell among the Duxbury flats. It has a self-bailing cock-pit, a lead shoe on the keel, and was self-righting. Mostwere galvanized-fastened, but Shiverick, who built onlyone Pilgrim, copper-riveted pine planking to theframes.”“I am also restoring a 1957 Beetle Cat,” Duck rehab-

ber Matt Murray added. “I hope to finish it soon: It hasbeen a long, but fun, project. After three years, my wifeis hoping to get her side of the garage back soon.”The more things change . . . .

Points East meet m/v Points EastA couple of years ago we purchased an older boat in

Connecticut. The hull, a 35-foot Duffy, was finished byMalcolm Pettegrow in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Ihave spent the past couple of years restoring the boat,and she’s still a work in progress. She is moored on theMerrimack River when not cruising in Maine, Booth-bay and beyond. We deliberated on a name for a longtime. Downeast is where we like to cruise, and PointsEast was a logical choice.

Dave Goodwinm/v Points EastPlaistow, N.H.

This was a great diesel seminarI just wanted to drop you a note and let you know

that I really enjoyed the Points East diesel seminar onJan. 31. Bob Gerwig did an outstanding job of takingus through the systems and principals of the diesel en-gine. The timing could not have been better for me as I

purchased a 1985 Crosby Canyon last year, poweredby a CAT 3208, which I have no experience with. Bobtook the time with each of his to address our questionsspecific to our engines and inform us of what to lookout for and how to service the engines.

Our group was terrific, and we enjoyed swappingstories during lunch. We really enjoyed the sandwichesand snacks that you provided. If you ever decide to runseminars on other systems such as electrical, plumb-ing or electronics, count me in.

Just Ducky: Go to Tampa BayI read “It Was All Just Ducky: Part 2” by Pamela

Mormino (Midwinter 2015) with great enthusiasm.They were going to explore the Gulf Coast of Florida.To my dismay they did not go up far enough; theystopped at Fort Meyers. They missed Tampa Bay andthe rest of the Gulf Coast up to Deston and beyond. Tampa Bay area is my favorite destination – not by

boat, but by air or driving. Not that I would not liketo, but I am afraid I would not qualify for a deliverycrew person. I have seen that Gladding-Hearn Ship-building, just down the road from me, has delivered afew pilot and patrol boats to the Maryland area and toSt. Petersburg in Tampa Bay. That would be a greattrip, but I have trouble with my knees and walking.But I can dream of the trip. I hope the Mormino couple cruises down to Florida

again, but, this time, gets up to Tampa Bay. And don’tworry about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge: It’s 191 feetabove the 1,200-foot-wide shipping channel. Your 59-foot mast will have plenty of room. When you go downagain, be sure to write about your trip for the rest ofus stuck on the hard until spring (what’s another tripto The Sunshine State, but pure joy). We do safety patrols, with station Menemsha, in

Buzzards Bay in the summer out of South Dartmouth. Ken Tait, Sr.

Report from Tom and KarleneIn the last issue, Randy Randall, co-owner of

Marston’s Marina, in Saco, Maine, told us, in “Letters,”that he had received an email from Tom and KarleneOsborne – members of the Centerboard Y.C. in Port-land, Maine – about their cruise south last fall. Here itis:Left Portland, Maine on Oct. 1, and have arrived in

Florida. We are on a mooring at Fernandina HarborMarina for a couple of days. Yesterday we traveled on bad sections of the ICW in

dawn to avoid low tide and going aground again. Weare almost in a stupor realizing we have made it, andwe have lived on a 40-foot boat for two months. Andwe’re still together! We made it to our niece’s at St. Simons on Sunday,

late for Thanksgiving, but were so glad to sleep in areal bed and be with them. I couldn’t say good-bye, andthought about just staying there as the area was sobeautiful.We now will try to figure out where we will settle for

a bit, visit my cousins in Sebastian, Venice and Dun-nellon, Fla.We helped, and had a lot of help from, the Sail Mag-

azine Rally sailors while trying to motor in really badparts of the ICW in the past week, and we celebratedwith them last night. We are also surprised and happythat this marina is so reasonably priced. This morning, we had the appraiser from our boat

insurance company, BoatUS, look at the damage doneto our boat from a cabin cruiser on Thanksgiving. Nowwe will have to get the damage repaired somewherein Florida. The owner of the cabin cruiser is docked atthis marina, also. Don’t know if we are following them,or they us. In any event, they are very nice so far. Theskipper of the cabin cruiser had tried to dock his 55-foot boat, which he’d purchased three weeks earlier,next to us during high winds and a horrible current. Looks like we are missing some nasty weather in

Maine. We woke up to dense fog this morning andthought for a minute that we were back in Maine.@##$%!

Women Under Sail 20 years oldTwenty years! Wow! How can that be? There’s a saying – “time flies when you’re having

fun” – that is so true. The time has flown by, and wehave had so much fun. When I was young, and a newnursing graduate, I couldn’t imagine having to “put inmy 20 years.” Now I am looking back on 38 years ofnursing, as many as a sailor, and celebrating my 20thyear with Women Under Sail. I didn’t just wake up one morning and say, “I am go-

ing to have a sailing school for women.” Women UnderSail has evolved, as I have. Over two decades ago,while working as a nurse, and psychotherapist, I hada goal of somehow getting more of my work on the wa-ter. At the time, I envisioned doing group therapy onthe boat, but I couldn’t wear both therapist’s and skip-per’s caps. I then started Freeport Sailing Adventures, a char-

ter business, and Women Under Sail evolved. I lis-tened to friends, customers and fellow sailors, and here

I am with a three- or six-day live-aboard sailing schoolfor beginner, intermediate and advanced womensailors based out of Freeport, Maine. In those 20 years, I have taught close to 800 women

from all walks of life, all areas of the country, and evenone movie star. Many of my students have gone on toown their own boats, make major passages, and havelearned to love to sail. During those 20 years, my hus-band and I made three passages from Maine to theCaribbean, as far as Venezuela, and one coastal trip tothe Bahamas. All have been wonderful, and each hashad something more to teach us.I learned to sail in Northern Michigan on Lake Su-

perior. My mentor was a serious, skilled sailor, thus Ilearned the mechanics of sailing well. Upon arrivingin Maine, I immediately fell in love with the beauty ofthe Maine coast, and I bought my second sailboat. A25-foot Hunter. I thought I was a confident sailor, butquickly learned that sailing in New England waters ismuch more than just knowing how to sail a boat. I did-n’t know how to read a chart. I knew nothing abouttides, rocks and fog. The first time (note I say “first”) Ihit a rock, I exclaimed “What in the world was that?”I had a lot to learn.From this realization came a greater love of sailing

and all of the other challenges to be mastered: chartreading, weather, navigation, safety, engine and boatmaintenance – and managing the situations that arisewhen on a large body of water controlled by MotherNature.During my years at Women Under Sail, we’ve en-

MYSTERY HARBOR/And the winner i s . . .

What a guy will do to get a free Points East hatSo, it is just not recognizing the harbor but writing

an essay as to how we identify with the harbor in orderto claim our valued chapeau.Well, I have lived, worked, and boated on this harbor

for 35 years. It’s Camden, Maine, photographed fromLibrary Park. I recognized the harbormaster’s Boatand the schooner Surprise. In the middle of the pictureis Richard Stetson’s restored 1938 Elco motor yacht.

It was an unusual angle that the picture was takenfrom that didn’t allow recognition immediately. Butwithin a couple of minutes, one could make out somefamiliar boats, especially the harbormaster’s tender,the dinghy dock, and numerous boats of friends ontheir inner-harbor floats. It is a long wait to get an in-ner-harbor float in Camden, so the same boats are onthe same floats almost every year.

countered many unexpected challenges – fromweather changes, rigging failures, engine issues, andemotional issues – and we always learn from them. Imight be sweating bullets, and the students will say,“Wow, that was a great learning experience.” Stuff hap-pens, and we learn. I am asked frequently, “Why only women?” There are

many reasons: Women learn better with women. Wefeel less vulnerable, and know we are all on the samepage, with the same goal. Women Under Sail is muchmore than a sailing class. It is an adventure, a chal-lenge, and a gift you give yourself. It is about empow-erment – an opportunity to challenge yourselfphysically and mentally, and face fears and anxietieshead on. We are a group of four or five women who jointogether with a common goal of learning more aboutsailing, often addressing fears or discomforts relatedto boating.

Within a few hours, we know a great deal about oneanother. We bond, we share our special skills, fears andanxieties, and individuality. We talk about everything.We laugh. We heal from past experiences.Using a supportive team approach, and sailing as a

metaphor for life, I encourage the women to talk about,and get in touch with, who they are as women andsailors, not what they are in a career. Each individualis unique, but we easily blend, learning and laughingtogether. We all know that when savvy, multitaskingwomen get together, the result will be a little bit of ev-erything.The experience becomes a three-day slumber party

along the coast of Maine aboard a beautiful classicyacht with great food, great company, hard work, andtremendous personal satisfaction.What more could I ever have asked for?

Capt. Sharon Renk-GreenlawFreeport, Maine

LETTERS, continued from Page 8


We all must know the virtues of Camden: It’s scenicbeauty, great food – both prepared and fresh – goodhiking and walking, and a community that puts it’ssoul into learning and reading. We still have four in-dependent bookstores, and a library that rivals anytown’s.If you are a visiting cruiser, the disadvantage is that

the anchorage in the outer harbor can tend to roll, soI might suggest trying the town harbormaster for aslip, or to see if he might have a float available in theinner harbor. Wayfarer Marine and P.G. Willey canalso offer this service, but being a selectman in town,I’ll push what we have to offer. There is also fuel atWayfarer and full-service repair if you are experienc-ing any problems.Be sure to visit Harbor Park, perhaps take a walk

up to the State Park, or just maybe our new harbortrail walk will be starting to shape up to add to the ex-periences that we have at our disposal in CamdenHarbor. It’s a great place to visit, but a better place tolive.

Leonard LooknerCamden, Maine

We’ve never tired of the viewIt’s Camden! My wife and family live very near the

harbor, and we pass it every day. In the 10 years we’ve

lived at 6 High Street, we haven’t gotten tired of theview. Camden is a great town.

PerspectivesA bridge over troubled sailors

My bridge-too-low story has made therounds; it happened many yearsago, in my boat-delivery days, dur-

ing the delivery of a gorgeous, half-milliondollar 50-foot yawl to Florida. But the otherday I got the strangest comment at the endof my telling – this from a well-meaning ladywith tiny yacht club flags on her lime-greenbelt. But I’ll save that for the end of this column.

I will say that it was a comment on the samelevel as the one from a lady in Fergus Falls,Minn., uttered years ago when she heardabout the adoption of Daylight Savings Timein her region: “That’s a ridiculous idea; my gardendoesn’t get enough sun as it is.” Hmmmmm.Anyway, on this delivery, my crew consisted of two

Mississippi River pilots, one pilot’s girlfriend, my girl-friend, and yours truly. It had been a stressful trip,mostly because of what usually happens when fivepeople are packed into a 50-foot space and traveling3,800 miles for 39 days (from the Great Lakes toSoutheast Florida): human incompatibility. In short, no one warmed to the captain’s girlfriend,

who spent most of her time uninvolved with the restof the crew and curled up reading C.S. Lewis’ “MereChristianity.” As you might suspect, not many river pi-lots read C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity,” so this alonewas a bit off-putting for these folks. My girlfriend became more and more withdrawn,

and, as captain, I didn’t have the maturity to rectifythe situation. Things were tense, but they were aboutto get a lot tenser. We were offshore – off central Florida’s Ponce de

Leon Inlet as I recall – when storm warningsmade us retreat into the Intracoastal Water-way (ICW). Our first stop was a dock withinwalking distance from a hardware store. Thegoal was to buy a really long tape measure,winch our lightest crewmember up the mastwith the tape, and determine our mainmastheight. The specs on board said the maximum

height of our rig was 63 feet above the water,but, since fixed bridges in this part of theICW posted either 64 or 65 feet of clearanceat mean high water, this was cutting it veryclose. I felt better measuring things for my-

self, and the 63 feet was confirmed. So what’s to worryabout, right? We were inside now, had enough clear-ance to continue on in “the ditch,” and were safe fromthe storm, which we could now feel even in the relativeprotection of the waterway. So on we went – not merrily on, but on just the same.

Until we came to the first fixed bridge. Now, most ofus have witnessed the illusion of seeing no clearanceas we stare upward while slowly going under a bridge.Well, that happened to us, too. Only it was so close thatthe VHF antennae bent over as we slowly crept under.Tension. “What’s going on, Cap? You sure you mea-sured right? And it’s not even high tide,” said one ofmy crewmembers. Well, can’t go back now. So it’s onward to the next

bridge, a few miles away. Real slow now, then reverseto stop and look up, then edge ahead and – yikes! –there’s that VHF antennae bending again; no, it’ssnapped off as the head of the mast and the anemome-ter instrument cups just clear. Tension. “What’s going

on, Cap? You sure you measured right? And it’s noteven high tide,” echoed another of my crewmembers. Well, can’t go back now. New plan: We roll out the

genoa, then all of you straddle the furled mainsail, andI push out the boom (Big John, you climb way out to-ward the clew end) – then we wait for a big puff to heelthe boat and reduce the mast height. “You sure aboutthis plan, Cap?” said a third crewmember. “You got a better plan?” I replied. Then, phew, we just made it. Sort of. (Real sailors

don’t need those silly wind instruments anyway.)Okay, crew, the chart shows close-together double-spanInterstate fixed bridges next. We’ll use the same plan:Roll out the genoa, crew out on boom. Should work. In-deed, it does, and we get under the first span. Butthere was one thing I didn’t factor into this plan: be-tween the spans, blocked by one huge bridge support,the wind stopped, and the big yawl turned more up-right. I was now the captain of a half-million dollar yacht

stuck in the small space between two U.S. InterstateHighway bridge spans. Real tension. That firstcrewmember chimed in: “What you going to do now,Cap? Can’t punt.” And so I did what any veteran captain would do: I

drove around in circles between the two bridges,around and around and around, like a pacing cagedlion, until I had a plan. It never came. But slightly

lower water did. And we finally got under. Well, minusour masthead light. (But who really needs one of those,anyway?).It was time for a cocktail. We found a tiny fishing

club with a few tired docks and tied up. There was noone around. Good. We went below to drink and lick ourwounds. Along about the third rum, there came aknock on the hull. It was from a tiny, baldheaded manwho proclaimed himself the commodore of the tinyfishing club. “Nice boat,” he said as I stuck my headout of the companionway. “We don’t get many realyachts in here. You’re welcome to stay the night. MayI come aboard?”It was then that I learned from this local that the

pressure and flooding through the inlets from onshorestorms can raise the normal height of the water in thispart of the ICW. Where was that little fellow when Ineeded him? Anyway, I promised I’d tell you what the lady with

the tiny yacht club flags on her lime-green belt saidwhen I told her what you’ve just read: “Honestly, Dave,you’d think the Corps of Engineers would dredge outunder those bridges so many of our bigger yachts couldget through.” Hmmmmmm.Dave Roper’s book, “Watching for Mermaids,” which

Technology rules. Live with it.

Computers and smartphones are great except whenthey aren’t. We spent most of the last week on theboat, and I was sans computer and e-mail, even

the phone was not working right.The evening before we were to leave on a planned 10-

day or so cruise down the coast, my four-year-old laptopdid what four-year-old laptops that have been carriedaround on boats do – it died…mother board failure…electronic cardiac arrest. But the hard disk was OK, sono data or programs were lost. Right. I figured I could use the smartphone while on

our little cruise, and I’d get a new laptop when we gotback. For the first day of our cruise the phone workedfine. Then it didn’t: Phone calls, text messages and thosemarine apps we all have, no problem, but email and websurfing…zip…nada. I tried everything you learn in smartphone school: first

a soft reset, then a hard reset, then I used Betty’s phoneto call tech help at Verizon. Verizon thought my phonewas about to follow my computer to that great recyclingcenter over the ocean somewhere. Great. Thanks guys.This made me remember the good-old low-tech days,

or at least back when I was significantly younger. Forty-

five or so years ago, when you went on vacation, you’dthrow a few things in the back of the car, heave the canoeonto the roof, hop in, crank it up, and head off acrosscountry to Montana or maybe a Santana concert in LosAngeles. If you really needed to talk to someone, well, gasstations had pay phones and they, mostly, worked. Of course, back then, my old Dodge had a slant-six en-

gine that could be taken apart with a simple socket set,a couple of screwdrivers and a hammer and then re-assembled with the same tools and it would run. Today,if you are like me, you open the hood, peer at the messinside and head off to the car guru.In 1996, Betty and I phoned home from Georgetown in

the Bahamas to let someone know we were headingsouth, and then pulled the anchor and sailed off to theCaribbean. When we got to the right island, we clearedin, put a Jimmy Buffet tape in the cassette player (re-member them?), and then looked for the pay phone onthe dock and phoned home. On that first cruise down yonder, we left Georgetown

with a primitive GPS, a full set of paper charts, my sex-tant, one VHF Radio, an autopilot that failed the first dayout, and a rubber ducky dinghy that we carried inflated

on the foredeck…it was the life raft. We had no SSB,EPIRB, chartplotter, radar, satellite phone, working au-topilot or real life raft. That’s the way a lot of people wentdown-island. Of course, two years later when we got tiredof clearing in and out every time we went for a 15-milesail to a different island, and turned the bow north toNew England, we had acquired all that stuff and thensome – except for the satellite phone; never did get oneof those. We also wondered how we ever got down therein the first place.Today we’re older, we putt up and down the coast

aboard a small Downeast hardtop, and we don’t seem tobe able to leave the dock without three phone calls, sev-eral text messages and the odd email to friends and rel-atives. When we do actually leave the dock, we carry allthe good stuff mentioned above – except for the satellitephone; never did get one of those. We also carry a computer (sometimes two) and two

smartphones, both loaded with a full set of good, usefuland maybe even necessary marine apps. Necessaryapps? Well, I can check the weather on half a dozen dif-ferent apps. If I don’t like what one says, I try a differentone. And suppose the chartplotter fails? I have a full setof apps on the smart phone and they work pretty well.Anyway, as you can probably tell by now, I am back in

the communications business, but it was a struggle. Thecell phone, for reasons known to no one (Verizon in-cluded) cured itself. Buying the new computer was easy,

but it came with Windows 8, and when I tried to load thedata and programs from the old computer’s hard disk,well, we won’t go into the ugly details. So, OK, I still had Microsoft Office 2007 on its original

disk, but, when I put the disk in the computer, I got a po-lite message that said something about the disk havinga three-installation license and, so sorry, but this try isNo. 4. OK, the new computer came with an offer from Mi-crosoft –for $89.00: I could download Office. After the bet-ter part of a night and three tries, I had Office 2013 forWindows 8. Office 2013 for Windows 8 is not the same asOffice 2007 for Windows 7. Then, three days late, Mi-crosoft announces a free up-grade to Windows 8.1. Thelearning curve has been steep, muddy and lumpy. Technology is a communicable disease, and most of us

have it. Times have changed. Technology rules. Live withit. Keeps the brain in gear.A professional cartographer, Bill’s lifelong infatuation

with the sea, ships and boats began in 1961 when, at 17,he went to sea on a square-rigged Norwegian school ship.He met his wife Betty – an aerospace engineer, mathe-matician, pilot and experienced sailor – in a sailing clubin Annapolis in 1993. A year later, they left the Chesa-peake on what was supposed to be a one-year, round-tripcruise, south to the Florida Keys, over to the Bahamas andback to the bay. They never returned to their former lives.They spend half the year cruising the East and Gulfcoasts and the Bahamas aboard their Nauset 28.

Where everybody knows your name

Nestled along the northern shores of the Pis-cataqua River – just upriver from the Route95 Bridge and adjacent to the Spinney Creek

outfall in Eliot, Maine – sits an unusual boating fa-cility known as the Great Cove Boat Club. It’s un-usual because it’s owned and operated by itsmembers. Great Cove’s roughly 100 members annually elect

a board of directors responsible for setting policy, andhiring staff, including an operations manager respon-sible for day-to-day operations. Each slip owner, or“key member,” gets one vote for the directors and onevote on important policy issues. Democracy in action. The facility was owned and operated by the

Berounsky family as a marina, from the late 1950s tothe mid 1980s. Then it was reorganized as a member-owned and -operated club to promote boating andprovide a safe, well-protected area to store boats allseason long.Great Cove Boat Club has about 100 slips, and a

handful of moorings. The owners occupy some of theslips, and others are leased on a seasonal basis to as-sociate members. Amenities include a boat ramp,

haul-out facility with a railway and an indoor heatedworkspace, and a clubhouse with ample parking. The clubhouse is heated and air-conditioned and

contains reasonably priced laundry facilities, threeshowers, three heads (including one with handicapaccessibility), and a lounge area with TV, cable andWi-Fi. The space also includes commercial cookingequipment, and a bar and seating area for all mem-bers and guests. A tent is erected during the boating season to pro-

vide cover on those “less-than-wonderful” boatingdays. All members have access to several gas grills.Many evenings people gather around the fire pit withtheir favorite beverages, relax and watch the moonrise. The vast majority of the members own power-boats in varying sizes, from 18 to 45 feet. There’s asmall contingent of sailors, 10 to 15 in an averageyear, and we have to endure the good-natured harass-ment from the powerboaters.People who have navigated the Piscataqua fre-

quently know it can be challenging, with ferociouscurrents, tricky winds and three bridges to negotiate;tankers, freighters and even submarines to avoid. To

make the journey to Great Cove Boat Club in an aux-iliary sailboat requires timing the opening of twobridges, and avoiding the worst of the current flow,which can max out at six to seven knots in places.Standing waves can appear when the current andwind are opposing each other. Tricky stuff, but excit-ing and challenging, too. Belonging to this club feels more like being part of

a boating family. The operation manager, Butch, andhis friendly staff, Ray and Ian, are always there tohelp boaters with docking and fueling, they even helpmembers with their dock carts. Butch has a lifetime of experience building boats,

transporting boats, and servicing them. There isn’tmuch he can’t help you with; if he can’t, he’ll send youto a person who can. Need canvas work, fiberglass repairs, engine work

or painting? Butch will suggest someone to help. Heis like a mother hen for 100-plus chickens. In the 12years I have been at Great Cove, the members havealways been extremely friendly and very accepting ofmy handicapped son, Derek. After a month-longcruise, there’s always be a smiling face to greet youand grab a dock line, usually accompanied by light-hearted kidding. It’s true that we have all “aged a bit,” and the week-

end parties aren’t quite as loud or as long as theyused to be. Some captains have moved on to the “big-

ger ocean” somewhere on the other side. A lot of faceshave changed, but the boating bonds remain. Likeany group of people this large, there are always dif-ferences of opinion, and occasionally some docksidepolitics get involved. But, generally, people are thereto relax and have fun, whether cruising extensivelyon their own boats or just enjoying the dockside ex-perience.We have our contingent of snowbirds who migrate

south every year as the days get shorter, the temper-atures colder. They are always enthusiastically wel-comed back in the spring, when we usually gatheraround and listen to their winter adventures. Some summer weekends Gosport Harbor in the

Isles of Shoals looks more like a Great Cove BoatClub convention. There’s never a shortage of boatsand people to visit. A lot of the members have becomelifelong friends, and maintain those friendshipsthrough the off-season. Some pick up the bonds againin the spring, like there was never a winter at all, anda new boating season begins.

Good friend Mike Pothier has been sailing off andon for close to 40 years on a wide variety of boats. Hepresently owns Dragonfly, a 1990 Hunter Legend 35.5,which is berthed in Eliot, Maine. He sails with his sonDerek (known up and down the coast as “Big D”) andsometimes with Elphis, “The Hiking Goddess.”

By Bob MugglestonFor Points East

On a bitingly cold day in February, with a fierce winterstorm bearing down on them, Ja-son and Reg McGlashan – 37 and66 years-old, respectively – left Co-nanicut Marina in Jamestown,R.I., headed for Bermuda and ulti-mately their native Australia, viathe Cape of Good Hope. Theyounger McGlashan had recentlybought the boat they sailed – Se-dona, a 43-foot custom racing yachtbuilt in 1995 – for a song on eBay.Two days later, their U.S. Coast

Guard rescue roughly 150 milessouth of Nantucket, Mass., in 60knot-winds, made national news,and included footage of the twomen being hoisted into a heli-

copter.A predictable outcome? Maybe. Details that emerged

after the rescue made the attempt seem, at the veryleast, foolhardy. Take the boat, forinstance. It was a fast and capa-ble racer that had been toBermuda several times, but ithadn’t been used in a while, andnever got a proper shakedownprior to leaving Jamestown. Itwas also revealed that Reg, thefather, was a non-sailor. The daythey left? Friday the 13th. So what, exactly, were they

thinking?Now we know. Points East

caught up with Jason Mc-Glashan, who is now back in Aus-tralia, and was nice enough togive us some of his time. A few of

Supremely confident, or plumb loco? In Febru-ary, two Australian men were rescued approxi-mately 150 miles south of Nantucket whenthey tried to outrun a nor'easter in a boatthey'd recently bought on eBay.

I have done a lot of short-handed sailing, but only limitedsinglehanded.PE: How long had you been looking for a boat when

you found Sedona?McGlashan: I had been looking for a yacht like Se-

dona for years. Every time I had money there were noyachts, every time there were yachts, I had no money.This one came up at a time when I had money, it ap-pealed to me, and so I purchased it.

PE:What was it about her that made you consider thetrip from Newport all the way to Australia?McGlashan: The lines appealed to me – it looked like a

quick yacht, and durable. It had the room I needed onboard and the speed, and it also had a pretty heavy keelhelping with the ballast. PE:How long did it take to get her in shape, and what

sacrifices did you have to make in order to fulfill thisdream?McGlashan: It took a bit over six weeks to get her into

shape. We had planned on doing some sightseeing whilein the States, but, unfortunately, we didn’t have time forthis. I had stopped running my own business of sailmak-ing, selling boat accessories and working on boats, tostart working for other people to try and speed up theprocess of getting ahead in life to be able to afford some-thing like this. The last three years, I have spent workingin the mines trying to get enough money to pay my bills,save up and purchase a nice boat.

PE:Did you have any second thoughts once you actu-ally saw Sedona?McGlashan: I had purchased the boat around three

months before I actually saw it. The photos I had on itwere good – they showed me a lot of detail – so once Iturned up at the yard, I found it pretty easy. It was whatI thought it was. All I wanted to do then was to get it to-gether and get it wet.PE:The brutal winter we’ve been experiencing here in

New England: How closely were you following theweather, and did the overall pattern make you recon-sider?McGlashan:We had been checking the weather every

day. We had made the decision that, if the guys hadn’tfinished the install on the new autopilot by mid-Friday,we wouldn’t leave until after the storm. We had been toldvia email we had to leave the jetty by Saturday as thestorm coming Sunday could cause damage to the jettyand our boat if we stayed on it. Everything was finishedon time.PE: Why Bermuda and the Cape of Good Hope, in-

stead of a western route, on which you could make mul-tiple stops (to fix stuff) and enjoy some warm weather?Maybe you could explain the game plan for trying to beatthe weather system that eventually caught you.McGlashan:The reason we chose that route was, that

the trades were in our favor, making the trip muchquicker. The route had deeper water making it much

safer – more of a rolling wave than short and sharp onesto pound the boat. (Editor’s note: Elsewhere, Jason hasmentioned wanting to get back to Australia before winterset in, the eastabout route being ostensibly faster). Wehad planned on stopping in Bermuda and then sailingunder South Africa, where we would stop if needed, thenon to Australia, where we would most likely stop in

Perth. We knew the boat could do at least 150 miles in aday if we didn’t have the problems that came up, includ-ing with our back-up gear. [Making those miles] wewould have easily outrun the storm.PE:Was there an adequate shakedown for Sedona?

a week, finishing off the repairs and installs of new gear.We didn’t go sparingly with safety gear, with most of itbeing brand new, including an EPIRB for the boat and apersonal EPIRB each, flares, safety harnesses, wet-weather gear, raft, VHF radio forthe boat and a hand-held, latestGPS and AIS – the list could keepcontinuing. PE:What happened to the sails

and engine?McGlashan: What happened

was, the charging unit for theYanmar started to fail, so we con-nected the wind generator, only tofind this didn’t last long and wasmost likely faulty – we had justpurchased this from a local shop.Once both charging units failed, Ipulled the sails down to do somerepairs, as part of the main had come out from under itslashing and caught on one of the winches, I suspect, andboth sheets had come off the headsail – I still don’t knowhow this happened, as the clips were a double safety clip.I’m not sure how this sail tore. Once the sails were torn we tried to motor, as sunrise

was a couple of hours away, and it would be best to fixthe sails then. We motored for around 1.5 hours, doingaround six knots so as not to push the motor, at which

time it shut itself down. This is when we tried to call forassistance. Initially there were light winds and warmtemperatures. We had tried on the radio, but unfortu-nately there were no other boats nearby. We then tried

the sat phone, but were havingtrouble connecting with the U.S., sowe called numbers we had forhome to relay the message. When this was taking a long

time we thought we would set offthe EPIRB. The storm only cameup about an hour before we wererescued. Unfortunately I had toleave my boat behind.PE:What’s the status of the boat

right now?McGlashan: The boat is cur-

rently drifting in the ocean. Iwould do almost anything to get it

back.PE:What did you learn from all this? Given what hap-

pened, would you do it all again?McGlashan: You can never have enough spares.

Given what happened I would do it again. My only re-grets are getting the Coast Guard to come and get us,and leaving my yacht.Bob Muggleston is the associate editor for Points East

Stanley Paris had several goals inmind when he began his solo non-stop around-the-world attempt onDec. 2, 2013 from St. Augustine, Fla.– Set a reference for time from St

Augustine, Fla.– Set a reference for time from

Bermuda.– Set a reference for age (was then

76 years old).– Set a reference for energy

(green-mode, using no hydrocar-bons).However, on Jan. 11, approxi-

mately 1,700 miles west of CapeTown, he reported that his boat hadfailed, and his attempt had ended.Paris was sailing his custom-built63-foot Kiwi Spirit, designed by FarrYacht Design and constructed by Ly-man-Morse Boatbuilding.Embarking on a second attempt

at age 77 years, Paris departed Nov.9, 2014 from St. Augustine, believingthat Kiwi Spirit was ready.

But apparently it wasn’t. Here’swhat Paris wrote following his deci-sion to stop:“Once again my attempt to com-

plete a solo circumnavigation hascome to an end. On Christmas Eve,the top quarter of the mainsail sep-arated along a seam from the rest ofthe sail. This is not repairable by meat sea and given the gales I can ex-pect before I round the tip of SouthAfrica, it is once again not advisableto continue.“This is, of course, a big disap-

pointment to me and to many whohave wished me well. But that is life.I have never let difficulties get in myway of trying something worth-while. “I am always aware that failure

can occur but I have never let thefear of failure deter or prevent mefrom trying. To do so would be to ac-cept mediocrity and that I will neverdo.”

Paris aborts second record attempt

Ariel now carries a squaresail, a pair of raffeesabove the yard, and a ringtail along the roach ofthe main.

Ariel is a double-ended cutter, 35 feet on deck,displacing 26,000 pounds, crossing a squareyard on a varnished spruce mast with two

headsails. This is the story of how we added a new sailto the inventory. Ariel is a Vixen design, the culmination of John and

Bill Atkin’s double-enders, designed and built in the

early 1950s for a round-the-world trip. That vessel,Vixen, is still sailing, and visited Maine in 2011 aftera second world circle. The design was featured in“Rudder,” and, in a book of designs and commentary,by L. Francis Herreshoff and Boris Lauer-Leonardi. For Ariel – first touching water in 2004 and built by

Ferdinand “Red” Nimphius in the 1980s – a squareyard was added with the permission of John Atkin. Asquare-rigged vessel was born. At the end of the first

A ringtail

Our Atkin cutter Ariel already could fly a main, jib, staysail, square, and tworaffees, a pretty good downwind or reaching rig. Then a Montague Dawsonprint revealed the clever “ringtail.”

decade of the 21st century, Ariel could fly a main, jib,staysail, square, and two raffees, small sails set abovethe yard. All in all, it’s a pretty good rig for downwindsailing or on a reach, and a great looking image bearingdown on a headland or entering harbor.In 2011, on the Internet, we saw an oil painting by

Montague Dawson, possibly the finest marine artist ofthe 20th century. Backwards in time, the painting fea-tures a British revenue brigantine under sail with allher regular sails, stuns’ls (studding-sails), topsails, anda strange looking addition outboard of the main. Thatsail was called a “ringtail.” It was a stuns’l for the main,sometimes used in the late 18th century and into the1800s, but developed earlier in a variety of forms. Originally, the fore-and-aft sail on the aftermost

mast was much smaller. Primarily a light-wind sail (al-though probably used in higher winds, if required, bya smuggler or revenue cutter), it added significantsquare-footage to the main, and was flown from thehead of the gaff and secured with a boom as an exten-sion to the main.The main problem with adding the sail to Ariel was

that we could find no one who actually had flown aringtail. I had never seen it on a yacht or square-riggedvessel in real life. I now know that the replica Pride ofBaltimore has flown one. The solutions were both modern and historical. First

All in all,says theskipper, it’sa prettygood rigdownwindor on areach.



and most important, it was necessary to find the rightboatyard that could look at the concept and translatethe idea into wood and canvas (Dacron). That yard wasTraditional Boat (www.mainetraditionalboat.com) inUnity, Maine. In the past, owner John Flanzer, hasdemonstrated uncommon intelligence and flexibility inworking with our boat. This was a no-brainer.The historical part of the issue was to find as much

information about the sail and the rigging of it on shipslong gone in memory. In this we were fortunate, asartists of the period were remarkably accurate in theirdepictions of vessels and rigging. As well, seamanshipand rigging were incremental developments, so it waspossible to watch the historical evolution of the sail.The earliest marine dictionary in the English lan-

guage is William Falconer’s “Dictionary of the Marine”(1769). In part, it was based on the earlier French dic-tionary of “Mess. Du Hamel, Aubin, Saverien, &c.” In-cluded in Falconer are drawings of sails, rigging,anchoring, and ship handling. The ringtail is definedin this way: “A ringtail is a name given to a sort of stud-ding-sail, hoisted beyond the after edge, or skirt ofthose main sails which are extended by a boom andgaff, as in all sloops, brigs, and schooners. This ringtailis accordingly of the same depth with that part of themain sail upon which it borders.”After that, for more information we looked to David

Steel’s “The Elements and Practice of Rigging and Sea-

manship,” the first attempt in English to publish acompendium of all the knowledge required of a sea-man. It included sections on mast making, anchor mak-ing, sail making, block making, rigging, seamanship,naval tactics, and tables of the quantities and dimen-sions of standing and running rigging, as well as thevocabularies for each section. Also, Darcy Lever’s“Young Sea Officer’s Sheet Anchor” (1808 and later,both British and American editions). A maritime classic, Lever’s book became the stan-

dard guide to rigging and seamanship in 19th-centuryEngland and America, and went through numerouseditions up to the time of the Civil War. The handsomeengraved plates – one for every page of text – show allaspects of rigging and handling sails in all kinds ofweather. I have found no reference to this sail afterLever. The best modern book we have located on historical

seamanship is “Seamanship in the Age of Sail” by Har-land and Myers. This scholarly and brilliant work, withmany drawings and photos, is really the best source foran intelligent discussion of the development of any sailor seamanship maneuver from the great Age of Sail. Toread it is to appreciate scholarly obsessiveness.The next step was to try to figure out how to rig the

ringtail. For that we have only general information andJohn had to figure out how long to make the boom, howto secure it to the mainsail boom and the head of the


gaff, and how to control andlimit its travel along theboom. This he did, experi-menting with block place-ment and other hardware toinsure free movement andmaximum control of the sailwhich adds about 30 per centsail area to the main.Finally, the sail had to be

made. We originally asked alocal sailmaker who cancelledafter a staff shortage occurredin his loft. Then we went toother sailmakers, but the costwas too high for our budget.The fact is, the ringtail is aneasy sail to make. No glassbattens, no reef points, justcringles at the foot and headfor lacing. The sailmakers wespoke to seemed to have ahard time with simple work.We went to several overseassailmakers, all based inChina, as a second choice be-cause we ran out of time forthe summer. With some ofthese, we had language diffi-culties; others could not visu-alize what we were proposing.The nomenclature of square-sails, which they had notbuilt, made them uncomfort-able, which, in turn, made usnervous. Now that the sail is on the

boat the sail is spectacular. Itdraws well, adds speed on areach or run, and looks won-derful. Most importantly, it forced us, and perhaps thepeople who see the boat, to realize that technology is

not time-stamped or bestby. It made us look at thepast in a new way, and –maybe, just maybe – itwill encourage other peo-ple to re-examine theirown histories and atti-tudes. If you see us onthe water, come on overand tell us what youthink – if you can catchus on a broad reach. We are looking at stun-

s’ls for 2015. And a JamieGreen (a sail set beneaththe bowsprit and the jib-boom) and a watersail(set beneath the boom).The past is future. Thepast is prologue. There isno end of ideas. Someeven may work.

The fact is, the ringtail (top row,left), is an easy sail to make. No glassbattens, no reef points, just cringles atthe foot and head for lacing. Thesailmakers we spoke to seemed to havea hard time with simple work.

Art from Lever’s “Young Sea Officer’s Sheet Anchor”


Sailing under squaresail is different than underthe Marconi rig. It’s generally a slower world, aworld of friendship sloops, coastwise schooners,English Blackwallers, tea clippers, and long-voyageDowneasters. It seems that the strain on the vessel is lighter,

and you are more going with the flow. As long asyou are not trying to go upwind, the motion is easierand it feels like the ship is lifting with the sails. Theapparent wind is different. The apparent motion isdifferent. With the squares come an absence of theurgency felt under some conditions with Marconisail. Not long ago, Ariel, with her usual one-person

crew, left Pulpit Harbor to go north towards Castine,Maine. The wind was quite strong from the south-southwest. Other boats wanted to head north, butthey were concerned with jibing and the four-footseas. What the few that went out did was tackdownwind. Fast, but longer, and still not comfort-able.What Ariel did was set a small square, about 250 square

feet, a jib, and the two raffees (60 square feet). We had a won-derful sail, relaxed with a cappuccino and snack food (smokedoysters). Our speed was six and a half knots. We could have

gone a thousand miles without touching the sails. Of course, upwind, we would have taken a nap at Pulpit and

waited for a day or so. Each rig has its benefits. I have not seena square rig in the America’s Cup for some time.

An anchor to windwardFor 127 years, J.O. Brown & Sonhas been an ever-present communitycatalyst on Penobscot Bay’s NorthHaven Island, and current ownersdon’t want that role to change.

Story and photos by Steve CartwrightFor Points East

You can’t visit North Haven Island, in Maine’sPenobscot Bay, without taking note of Brown’sboatyard. Situated next to the state ferry dock,the yard is as vital to the community as the dailyferry service itself.


An anchor to windwardJ.O. Brown and Sonexudes character andstability. Inset:Fourth-generationfamily member KimAlexander and herfifth-generation sonAdam.


Brown’s bills itself as “a full-service boatyard,” offer-ing moorings, hauling and trailering, boat storage,shower, a small chandlery, and a fuel dock. But, to theNorth Haven community, it is so much more. Islandersgenerally agree that Brown’s is a lifeline, whether youneed fuel, your boat’s run aground, or your truck’sstuck in the ditch.There’s nothing glitzy about the yard, with its hand-

painted signs, tin roof, board-and-batten siding, andwood-planked dock on wooden pilings. The great postsand beams of the main shed were erected in 1855. To-day, eight employees tackle a variety of shore and mar-itime challenges using both traditional hand toolsalong with modern machinery. The Brown’s crew in-cludes three marine technicians, three certified cap-tains, and a certified diver.

A summer resident commissioned J.O. Brown to build a fleet of North Haven dinghies, and Brown built 70 of them in this shop.

For 127 years, the Brown family – now the fifth gen-eration – has been building and maintaining boats,setting moorings, selling hardware, and occasionallyrescuing a recreational mariner or fisherman at sea.Today, Brown’s sells fuel; has a 15-ton Travelift; anddoes engine, prop and hull repairs. Brown’s also deliv-ers heating oil to island homes, and sells gas for islandcars. If you’ve got a problem, call Brown’s.Next door to the boatyard is the impressive $3 mil-

lion Waterman’s Community Center – funded by sum-mer folk and local fundraisers – tucked into the formerWaterman Company Market buildings. But in manyways Brown’s itself is also a community center. It’swhere you might hear the latest gossip and a weatherreport. It’s where, in warmer weather, you can buy lob-sters from a dinghy converted into a holding tank.As fourth-generation family member Kim Alexander

puts it, “We seem to feel the need to help the viabilityand sustainability of the island.” A theater-arts major,she likes Henrik Ibsen’s quote: “A community is like aship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.”When the boatyard was founded in 1888, James O.

Brown was just 23, working in a rented fish house.Summertime resident Charles Weld of Boston took aninterest in Brown, and commissioned him to build afleet of North Haven dinghies, small racing sloops.Over the years, Brown built 70 of them, and you canstill see them today at the yacht club or the boatyard.

The dates of storms, and high levels of storm surges, aremarked on one of the old shop's cast-iron saw supports.

The fish house burned, andBrown built a new shop. But Weldsaw a chance for expansion whenthe nearby lobster and clam can-nery closed in 1897. Weld boughtthe property and installed machin-ery for Brown, with a lease-to-owncontract. J.O. Brown’s gray-shin-gled boatbuilding shed still stands,half over the water, now used forstorage. In those early years, Brown’s

built dozens of dinghies, catboats,dories, peapods and sail-poweredfishing boats. And the island’s firstmotorboat in 1902. Brown askedson Foy to join the business in1926, hence the name “& Son.” Theelder Brown died a year later at61. In 1939, Foy built a 42-foot ves-

sel named the J.O., and used foryears to ferry goods and peopleacross the bay. It was Foy’s last job.He died in 1940, age 51, and hisson James took over at 23 – thesame age at which his grandfatherstarted the business. He left the is-land for wartime military service,and swore he’d never leave again.The hub of yard activity is the

large ex-cannery. A post-and-beamstructure with sagging eaves, ithas been expanded with a newdock financed by a $240,000 stategrant to preserve working water-front. Brown’s invested half againthat amount in a dock that haslong been used by local fishermen.“Not only has the business done

a lot of things for the community,”said Alexander, “but the first J.O.and [son] Foy were town clerks, aswas Aunt Ivaloo. Dad was a select-man, brother Foy was on the plan-ning board; I’ve been on the schoolboard, Waterman’s board, planningboard, and board of appeals. Foythe younger was a selectman,Adam (Kim’s son and fifth-genera-tion Brown) is on sustainablehousing, and his wife Kat just re-placed someone as selectman.”Past meets the present at

Brown’s, where old tools and old-timers mingle with modern elec-


tronics and youngpeople. Grandchil-dren – kids whomay someday takeover the familybusiness – play atboatbuilding. “Weplan on handing itdown,” said Kim,who runs Brown’soffice in a formerKnights of Pythiashall overlooking theyard.Kim shares re-

sponsibility for theyard with her olderbrothers, Jimmyand Foy, Foy being a name, along with Jim, that ispassed down from generation to generation. Kim’s fa-ther – also a James Brown, but known as Jim – died

four years ago aftera lifetime at theboatyard. Her AuntIvaloo also devotedher life to the busi-ness as bookkeeper.In Jim’s last yearsaround the yard, hecould no longer dothe day-to-day work,and claimed he didthe “heavy lookingon.” Before he diedat 91, in 2008, hesaid, “It’s all I everreally wanted to do.All I really knewhow to do, actually.”

The yard passed to the next generation, Kim and herbrothers Jimmy and Foy – those names just keep go-ing – and Kim’s cousin Linda. Now there’s a fifth gen-

eration, and Kim’s son Adam, 31, is part of it.A recent magazine article called him “operator” at

the yard, and he’s taken some ribbing for that. He saidhe actually has no title. The Brown family doesn’t needa designated boss. Each person knows what to do, andwhen and where to do it, family members say.“We were all ‘sail’ to start with,” Kim said. “We

haven’t built a sailboat in a long time.” In fact, the lastboat built from scratch was the Agnes, a traditionalwooden motor launch modeled on the Brown’s BoatYard workboat. A couple had seen the workboat andcommissioned a more elegant version of it in 2007.

Brown’s boatyard keeps busy maintaining 14-foot,five-inch North Haven Dinghies, known as the oldestactively raced one-design class in North America. The1919 John Alden design is raced at the nearby NorthHaven Casino, the yacht club that was organized in1912. No one seems to know why it’s called TheCasino: Maybe some gambling occurred there at onetime or another. The late John Leather, in his 1982 book “Sail and

Oar,” wrote: “In the early years, J.O. Brown built theNorth Haven Dinghy for $425, but in 1949 . . . . hisgrandson was building them for $750 each.” Repair

and maintenance work on a variety of craft neverceases, and Brown’s reputation recently attracted aMassachusetts lobsterman, who wants some workdone on his boat.College students from the island can find summer

work at Brown’s, and Adam himself did just that whilestudying at Concordia University in Montreal, wherehe majored in literature. He just bought his grandfa-ther’s house in the village, where he and wife Kat areraising two kids. They’re part of a baby boom on NorthHaven. This is encouraging since the island has thesmallest accredited K-12 school in Maine: 66 students,21 of them in the high school. The North Haven Community School – financed by

$6.2 million in private donations and $1.9 million inmunicipal bonds – was completed in 2008, and in-cludes a year-round greenhouse. For the other end ofthe life continuum, a seasonal resident has donated a

$1.5 million seaside home as a facility for elders, sothey can stay on their beloved island.The Brown family is committed to keeping the busi-

ness going, and Kim said she would like to hire moreworkers if she can find them. Housing is in short sup-ply on North Haven. Then there’s the challenge of is-land life: You’re in a small place with the same people,for a long period of time.Twelve miles from the mainland city of Rockland,

North Haven is a Penobscot Bay cruiser’s paradise.With a year-round population of about 350, it’s is acommunity where, for better or worse, you know allyour neighbors. If you’re a member of one of the oldfamilies, you’re related to many of them. Kim, a founder and mainstay of the Waterman Cen-

ter, said, “It’s hard to grow up in a fishbowl.” The Wa-terman who ran the store was her uncle. Island life,she said, means “you have to wear a lot of hats, and let

a lot of stuff roll off your back. For some people, livinghere is perfect,” she said. “It’s all connected, and thepeople are all connected.”On North Haven, fishermen and organic farmers

mingle with the affluent, including such longtimesummer residents as the IBM Watson family, whichowns a private airstrip. Another resident is U.S. Con-gresswoman Chellie Pingree, who moved to the is-land years ago to raise a family and establish anorganic farm. In 1981, she started a cottage industryfor island knitters, marketing knitting kits nation-wide. Her daughters have stayed on the island, withforays to the mainland. Chellie and her husband, Donald Sussman, operate

Nebo Lodge, catering to anyone who wants to dineand bed down on North Haven. Their organic farm,Turner Farm, supplies the lodge. Hannah Pingree,former Maine Speaker of the House, helps her mom,

and Hannah’s sister, Cecily, is reviving CalderwoodHall, an island gathering place, with plans for a brewpub.To say that North Haven is unspoiled almost seems

an understatement. From one shore to another, thereare winding narrow roads on which everyone wavesto one another; there are sweet anchorages such asprotected Pulpit Harbor, a favorite for cruising boats.The tree-lined village is a cluster of older houses, atrue close-knit neighborhood. “Some of us like to call it North Heaven,” one resi-

dent said. And Brown’s Boatyard can take a bow forthe role it has played in sustaining that feeling forwell over a century.

Story and photos by Capt. Michael L. MartelFor Points East

After working on the interior of the cabin for acouple of hours the other night – painting, re-pairing, and re-installing hardware – I took a

break and sat down at the chart desk and happily sur-

veyed my progress, while the little electric heater onthe deck of the saloon hummed away. I knew that Iwas back into my boatbuilding groove, and it felt nat-ural, comfortable, and satisfying. It’s a good place to be, I thought. It’s a place in time

that’s almost meditative; time and schedule have be-

It’s a good place to be when restoring an old wood boat. It’s all about what you aregoing to do with the boat, where you are going to go with it, and the oft-dreamt-of launch day when it finally arrives.

come meaningless. There’s no rush;do it right, take your time, and sa-vor each little bit of progress. Untilyou arrive at this place, it’s allpainful, uncomfortable work,fraught with worries aboutweather, timing, schedules, whatthe neighbors are thinking, the im-mensity of the project – and you be-gin to doubt whether you will everfinish it. But once you’re in thegroove, life attains a certain bal-ance, and it becomes a pleasure towatch the slow transformation ofthe vessel beneath your hands. You are no longer trudging along,

strapped into the traces; you arenow riding the dream. I have beento this place before, every time I gotinto building or rebuilding a boat.You don’t know when you’re goingto get here, but when you finally do,well, you’re here. The mind, as Mil-ton once observed, is its own place.The cold, blustery November

wind was whistling through thebare tree branches outside, a frontcoming through, a gift fromCanada. It blew in from the north-west, under a star-lit evening sky.It rattled and shook the heavytarpaulins covering my wood-framed boat enclosure, cold draftsblowing up and around the motion-less hull. But within that cocoonstood my boat, on its jack-stands,surrounded by the scaffolding I hadbuilt, ladders, and hanging beat-upshop-lights shining an eerie fluo-rescent glow on the upper works,while the hull below the waterline-level scaffolding was enfolded indarkness and shadow.Throughout the summer season,

I had finished restoring the decks,and now the hatches were all inplace, and the boat could be closedup to contain the feeble outputfrom the little space heater. It actu-ally made a difference because,when it’s very cold, water hoses be-come rock-like; the solid block of anengine numbs any fingers thattouch it; paint won’t flow, and epox-ies become heavy syrup and hard to


mix and apply. Varnish goes on likepainting molasses. But with theboat closed up, I can work inside,continuing into the winter, at leastthrough the milder earlier parts ofit. January may be another matter.

But even now, later on a darkweeknight evening, the dreamkeeps me going. While I work, Ithink of sailing the broad ocean.When I install a new timber ordeck beam, I think of a ton of greenwater coming down on it from arogue wave, and I make sure to setit in right, and strong. The dream is what sustains you

through the long process of refit.It’s a daydream, and like a warmfire on a winter evening, imagina-tion is the kindling. Once you get itgoing, the intimidating, huge pro-ject becomes simply work, and whois afraid of work? When people tell me that I’m

crazy, or that the task is too big orimpossible, I simply respond that

The question is asked in an almostdesperate manner. “When it’s done,” I reply, “when-

ever that will be.” You cannot set aschedule for a project like this any

Then I discovered that thetransom had to be replaced, plus a whole lot that wasin-between. I shook my head, and set to work.

But the dream is not about what you are doing now,or any part of the rebuilding schedule. It is simply allabout what you are going to do with the boat, andwhere you are going to go with it, once the work isdone and the oft-dreamt-of launch day has finally ar-rived.

This is the second time that I haverestored this boat. I restored heryears ago, sailed her for some years,sold her, and then got her back quitea few years later when she neededme. Of course, it seemed just a coin-cidence that the Maryland boatyardowner where she had been aban-doned called me one day out of theblue, and I began the whole re-acqui-sition process from there, but I won-der sometimes if there are truly anyreal coincidences in a universe wherethe longer we live, the more we learnthat nothing is truly random. He hadfinally cut the lock and gone into theboat and found my contact informa-tion in papers in the chart desk.But long before that, I had bought

the boat and decided to fix her upand get sticks in her and take hersailing. That first time around, lifewas different. I was younger, therehad not yet been a Y2K or even a9/11. Business was good, and I hadlots of free time and still made moneyworking out of a home office. So on afternoons in the summer, I’d

be up on a ladder under the shade ofa big oak tree out back, hammeringaway at the hull and sweating, cooledby occasional gusts of the prevailingsouthwest breeze that came up fromNarragansett Bay and blew acrossthe Bristol peninsula and onto myboat and me, rustling the oak leavesfar above my head. I could smell thesea in the onshore breeze, and it keptme focused on where I wanted to go.I often wondered if, in some way, theboat could smell the salt breeze, too. I will spread my sails to that

breeze sometime soon, I used to tellmyself, and, eventually, I did. Buteven so, as I ground, chipped, andhammered away 10 feet above theground, my mind was hundreds ofmiles away, crossing the GulfStream, my boat plunging headlonginto the great troughs between thesapphire-blue warm swells of theStream, happily surging toward theempty horizon and islands of spices,palm trees, coconuts, rum and whitebeaches that lay at the far edge of myimagination and well over the dis-

tant horizon. But I was riding thatdream, and it sustained me and keptmy bow pointed ahead and watermoving beneath the keel of my mindand energy.I would think about my boat all

the time, much the same way ayoung man thinks about sex every30 minutes or so, not because hewants to (or perhaps he does), butbecause his chemistry drives him to.I would plan ahead, like a masterchess player plans his moves tocheckmate his opponent 20 movesahead or more, including planningfor contingencies. I planned eachstage and step of what had to bedone next, seeing the finished prod-uct in my mind’s eye. I found my old leather-bound

“nothing” book that I had startedmany years ago, filled with nota-tions and crude drawings and scrib-blings and measurements, and listsof “needs” for each boat that I haveworked on. I stopped at consignmentshops, big box DIY home stores, yardsales, any place that I felt I couldfind the tools and materials I knewI would need. I became the “dented-can guy” at

the boatbuilding supply shop, buy-ing heavily discounted paint andepoxy in dinged and rusted cans sothat I could put that saved discountmoney toward a tool that I needed,or another can of paint. What did Icare about what the can looked like,as long as the contents were intact?Let the can look ugly, and the boatlook pretty. These planning and calculating

exercises helped my memory andsharpened my mind, keeping it busybefore I went to bed, so I could sleepon these plans and process them inmy subconscious. Nowadays, in thisboat-restoration redux, the workkeeps my body moving, especiallynow that I am older, stiffer, and haveless energy and motivation. But thedream is back; it lives again.But this is the end of the affair. I

will not need to do a refit like this tothis boat again in my lifetime. She ismore than 80 years old now, and my

work should carry her for another 20or more with proper care afterwards.Rebuilding and restoring big, oldwood boats is a hard-work affair –dirty, difficult and time-consuming.I will never take on a project of thismagnitude again, alone. But I will happily make a winter

project of building the occasionalsmall wooden dinghy in my base-ment workshop; all bright, clean,new wood, shiny copper rivets andfastenings, aromatic linseed and

varnish. That will be fine. The dreamcomes back to you then, too.

FETCHING ALONG/David Buckman

Fathoming Halifax IslandA small cove off the north shore of Halifax Island, in Maine's Englishman's Bay, provides a secure and beautiful anchorage.

Some things are so obvious we hardly see them. Foryears, Halifax Island, on the seaward reaches ofMaine’s Englishman Bay, was often the last sight

of U.S. shore as we headed the Leight for various Cana-dian ports in fog, thick and thin. With time taking fullmeasure of every mile and minute, as it does in the mists,we admired the spectacle of it, and vowed to land thereone day – but we didn’t. Five years passed, then 10 and 20. The wind was

wrong, time was tight and other plans prevailed, but stillwe’d look at the island wistfully as it faded away. Bold, beckoning, and showing no signs of man’s ambi-

tions, the half-mile-long swell of grass, granite and green-ery presents stirring prospects. Punctuated with tufts ofmeadow and scattered knots of trees, a sinewy billow ofledge rising high above the water on its westernmostpoint promised to repay the modest effort of climbing itwith breathtaking seascapes. Possessed of a certainprimitiveness, it seemed a long way from home.

There was a pregnant sense of discovery in the airwhen Leigh and I finally sniffed our way into western-most bight under the north shore of the island. Creepingin close, we circled in single-digit soundings. Casting alead line occasionally to get a feel for the bottom, Iguessed it was mud, from the soft grounding and mo-mentary stickiness when pulled free. The CQR took up immediately, and we were soon car-

rying the dinghy above rock and wrack. Landing on awild island, particularly a first visit, is possessed of a cer-tain epic quality, it being a landscape of raw experience,indifference, and things felt more than thought. We’d only taken a few steps when we were drawn to

the sound of breaking waves. A dozen yards away, a tinyeel rut on the seaward shore nearly cut the island in half.At the head of it were mounds of beach stones, polishedby eons of crashing seas. It’s not easy to explain the com-pulsion to skip rocks across the water, or search for a per-fect speckled agate to take home, but we did both, which

was invested of a certain innocence.Climbing through a knee-high cor-

ruption of grass and coarse scrub onthe west point, Leigh gained therocky crest first, and I heard her ex-claim, “Oh, David, look at that.”Gaining her side, a scattering of is-

lands – ebony green close in, and palegray a dozen miles off – gave shape tostirring prospects that had a visceral,minimalist dimension to them. To thenorth, a crescent of sandy beach atRoque Island stood proud, and turn-ing east, we could just make out theloom of Grand Manan Island, 25miles away. Gulls squalled, a flight ofswallows arced low, and the Libby Is-land foghorn sounded its dirge – takecare, take care. Skirting shore, daisies faded as

asters bloomed. Rocks shifted underour feet. Sidewalks of ledges were atreat. Coming upon a tangle ofboards, speculation arose as to whatsort of a shelter a marooned sailormight fashion from them. I thought itmust have a board floor. We stumbledupon another potential landing spotat a shingle beach near the northeastpoint, and, in a grassy hollow, cameacross a campsite and fire pit. Stop-ping to listen to the islands murmur,bees buzzed, seas washed and everystep had something to tell us. The inspiration and energy of dis-

covery are compelling. While barelyscratching the surface of it, we needthe tonic of wild places, which afterall these years, there are still manyto be fathomed. As Thoreau wrote,“An absolutely new prospect is agreat happiness.” Halifax Island is wildlife refuge,

administered by the U.S. Fish &Wildlife Service.

Reviewed by Sandy MarstersFor Points East

It was fun in this winter’s reading to several timesfind myself reading about my own back-yard. In Colin Woodard’s “The Republic of Pi-

rates,” looking for a break from the pres-sure Britain was putting on the pirates inthe Caribbean, a couple of ships head forMaine and a rendezvous at remoteDamariscove Island. Trouble is, they don’tknow how to get there. So the pirate captain of one of the vessels,

Paulsgrave Williams, an associate of the no-torious Sam Bellamy, puts ashore in myhometown of Cape Elizabeth aboard theMar-ianne. This was mid-May of 1871. It must havebeen lovely as a captured pilot guided the ship

into Richmond Harbor, where they anchored.Ashore they found little home belonging to a farmer,

Dominicus Jordan, who had smelled trouble andskedaddled. I believe that is the same Jordan clan thatstill farms in Cape Elizabeth. Williams and his menenjoyed a sleepover and the next day kidnapped a fish-erman who wandered into the harbor and said heknew the way to Damariscove.In “Snow Squall,” Nicholas Dean and David C.

Switzer strike even closer to home with an account ofthe salvage of the bones of the last American clippership, which had been abandoned in the Falkland Is-lands. Snow Squall was built in 1851 in South Port-land, just a mile or so from my current home. After a

daring recovery in 1987 in the aftermath ofthe Falklands War, her bones were returnedto South Portland before finally resting atthe Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.And many Points East readers andboaters will find very familiar the descrip-tions of Narragansett Bay in ChristopherL. Pastore’s very studious “BetweenLand and Sea,” which explores the im-pact of development during the settle-ment of the New England coast in 17th,18th and 19th centuries. Even here, Ifound close connection during Pas-tore’s discussion of the impact of theBlackstone Canal on a long stretch of

the old canal – ran thick and weedy at the bottom ofthe hill where I grew up in North Grafton, Mass.Perhaps it seems odd – narcissistic, parochial – to

approach a book review by cataloguing its personalconnections to me, but that was certainly part of thejoy of reading these very different books about mar-itime history. A close physical connection is part of thewonder that will bring history to life for a New Eng-land reader of these books.Colin Woodard is a prolific Maine au-

thor and journalist. His work isn’t al-ways as fun as “Republic of Pirates.” Ona recent cruise, we had to quit readingaloud his decade-old “Ocean’s End: Trav-els Through Endangered Seas” because itwas just too depressing while sitting on aboat.But “Pirates” is great fun. Imagine com-

ing aboard one of these pirate ships to seethese grizzled tough guys walking aroundin women’s dresses and silk finery. Theyloved dressing up – even wearing make-up– and they had lots of opportunity to do so asthey overtook ship after ship and helpedthemselves to the passengers’ trunks as well as to anytreasure on the ship. They were indeed a colorfulbunch.And crafty. They were talented seamen and fierce

fighters when they needed to be. But the romantic vi-sion of the murderous pirate is overstated, Woodardasserts. Rather, they were a product of their times, of-fering an attractive and often profitable alternative toscratching out an existence farming parched Ba-hamian soil or, worse, being kidnapped to serve on aBritish Navy frigate in worse-than-miserable condi-tions. At one point it even looked like they would havetheir own republic in the Bahamas, until infighting

and a full-court press by the British brought them toa stop.“They were the die-hard outlaws,” Woodard writes,

“angry men who saw themselves not as businessmenor thieves, but as rebels or guerrilla insurgents in awar against ship owners, merchants, and, in manycases, King George himself.”Bellamy, an associate of the famous Blackbeard, who

really did put firecrackers in his beard tofrighten his victims, had no tolerance forauthority. “They vilify us, the scoundrels do,when there is only this difference: They robthe poor under the cover of law…and weplunder the rich under the cover of ourown courage.”The heroes of “Snow Squall” are asmall group of historians and archaeol-ogists obsessed with the idea of preserv-ing the history of the great clipper andreturning her to her roots. They are allvolunteers who use cunning and im-provisation and imagination to over-

come the engineering challenges ofpulling the bow timbers of the ship from oily muck un-der a dock in Port Stanley and getting it home.But while the archeological challenges are interest-

ing, it is the story of this great ship before the accidentthat ended her life – and the clipper era – that en-thralls. Here again are pirates who would drop “nau-seating stink bombs” on the ships they were taking;there was greed; there was superb and sometimes in-competent seamanship; there was political intrigue. In“Snow Squall,” it all winds out as a fascinating andcaptivating narrative.Finally, the point of view of “Between Land and Sea”

reminds me of some advice Dodge Morgan gave uslong ago when he was advising us on the mission of

Points East. He thought it should be a serious journal-istic endeavor that viewed natural and human life ofthe coast from a point about five miles atsea and then 10 miles inland. I never re-ally understood what he meant, but Ithis book makes his advice a littleclearer.Once there was the New England coast

in a condition largely untouched by manon any grand scale. In 1636, settlers come,altering the boundaries of man and natureto suit their needs – draining swamps,damming the big rivers, and building canalsfor short-term benefits that often had drasticconsequences.The Blackstone Canal seemed like a good

idea for moving goods from the coast into thegrowing inland cities. But its backers wereblind to the complexity of the project. “Canal managers

had failed to account for environmental variability, in-cluding extended periods of rain, snow anddrought that either damaged the canal ormade it impassable.” It was a disaster andwas abandoned almost as soon as it hadopened. Trains proved to be a much betteridea.As boaters, we think of New Englandfrom a perspective of a few miles off thecoast or anchored in a quiet harbor as apastoral and unchanging landscape. Weforget that man and nature are con-stantly changing it, and that nature isnot as resilient as we imagine it – andthat what we see is not what was al-ways there.Sandy Marsters, co-founder of

Robert Lane90, Friendship, Maine

By Chris FinnFor Points East

This winter, the sailing community said good-bye toRobert “Bob” Lane. Born to the sea, Bob was bestknown for starting the Penobscot Boat Works, “Penbo,”in Rockport in 1951, with his father Carl D. Lane. Theboat shop turned out a diverse stable of high-qualitywooden vessels ranging from runabouts to trawler-hulled, oceangoing cruisers. Bob and his dad rediscovered the derelict and rot-

ting whaling vessel Charles W. Morgan in the 1940s.

Carl and his Sea Scout troop, Bob included, were en-listed to provide additional manpower as the Morganwas moved to her permanent berth at the Mystic Mar-itime Museum. The Sea Scouts were signed on as offi-cial crew for insurance purposes, and, as a result, BobLane was the last surviving crew member of an Amer-ican sailing whaler.After retirement, Bob and his wife Esther made 10

voyages to the Bahamas on the Penbo-built Star ofMaine. Summers since 1966 were spent on CranberryIsland in Muscongus Bay. In later years, Bob was ahighly skilled ship-model builder. Some of his worksare on display in the Bath Maritime Museum.During WWII, when 19 years old, Bob captained a

seagoing tug, which helped to build the artificial har-bors that allowed tanks and heavy equipment to getashore during the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

The day was sunny and beautiful aftera major storm two nights before – and an iffy progno-sis by the meteorologists – but Capt. Jim had orderedup a fine day, and, as usual, he got his wish.

The 27-foot Friendship sloop Persistence sat on herjack stands while volunteers swarmed around to trimher with bunting. Three and a half years of effort hadtransformed a partially built hull, begun by Friend-ship boatbuilder Carlton Simmons in 1966. Herrestoration was effected with salvaged parts from aderelict sloop, the Eagle, built in 1915 and rottingaway in a Spruce Head boatyard. Jim Sharp acquired

cated and skilled group ofpeople, both male and female.I made a preliminary visit toPersistence before the launch-ing, to get an idea of who thevolunteers were and how theyworked together (alas, I can-not mention everyone). Locals Tom Hammermeis-

ter and Charlie Witherellwere among the most loyalworkers (it was Tom whofound the partial hull of thesloop and alerted Capt. Jim toits existence), while otherswere from “way away,” likeTexas and Montana. TexanRobert Guenther, who nowlives in Camden, said, “I hadalways wanted to build a boat,but had neither the moneynor the space to do so, so this is the next best thing.” Rachel Davis, from Billings, Mont., had worked for

a year at the Apprenticeshop and wanted to keep onboatbuilding. While walking her dog one day, she foundthe museum and the group of volunteers, who werevery welcoming, and she joined in. Rachel had earlierparticipated in the group delivery of a reconstructedwhaleboat from the Apprenticeshop to Mystic Seaport,sailing and rowing their craft from one destination toanother. Tom Goettel, to whom I introduced myself on

that initial visit, turned out to be a former neighborfrom Amherst, Mass. Volunteer John Holliday told me that the man who

had really held them all together was Dennis Gallant,former owner/captain of the schooner Angelique andan accomplished boatbuilder. “We have a whole list of‘Dennisisms,’” he said, of which the most used was,“Not like that, you guys!” Rolly James showed up forthe launching with his photographing drone and hisiPad, so not everyone was locked into the ways of

Volunteers like Rachel Davis, from Billings, Montana, and Tom Hammermeister, a local,worked together as a team to get Persistence into the water.

Jimgot up to emphatically say, “This is the most ac-complished group of volunteers ever, and if any-one does not agree with me they get my cane!” At the appointed hour, boat-hauler Ed Herlbit

arrived with his hydraulic rig to bring Persis-tence to the sea. Bagpiper and fellow captainKen Barnes accompanied the sloop to the townlanding, followed by Capt. Jim and wife Meg,who bore the bottle of champagne for christen-ing the sloop. Before she expertly smashed thebottle over her bow, Meg said, “During all thistime, sometimes we called her Persistence, andother times Patience, and we called her otherthings as well, but today I christen her Persis-tence!”Herlbit slid his rig into the water, and re-

leased the boat into the sea. Huge applauseerupted when she floated free, and as Ed droveback up the ramp, he grinned and said, “This ispass/fail! There is no such thing as a B+ in boat

Up until now, Sabre’s largest “motor yacht” offeringhas been the Sabre 54 Salon Express and Fly Bridge,the first of which was unveiled at the 2014 MiamiYacht and Brokerage show. But owners of these modelsrequested a larger design, Sabre says, and the com-pany’s response is the Sabre 66, scheduled to debut inmid-2015.Construction of the 66, begun in Sabre’s Rockland,

Maine, facilities, was designed by the in-house teamled by Kevin Burns. Kevin has been busy with thisproject for some time, developing hull shapes, deckstyling, and mechanical and interior layouts. The 66 will be equipped with Volvo Penta IPS1200

pod drives, and will cruise in the mid 20-knot range.Her displacement will be 80,000 pounds, and her inte-rior will feature a full-beam master stateroom belowher helm deck. Social connectivity of the cockpit andinterior spaces is the key to this open and airy layout,

Sabre says.When Sabre first began building 28-foot sailboats in

1970, there were very few large, owner-operated motoryachts in use. Over the past 40-plus years, the fleet oflarge, private vessels has grown dramatically, withnew operating systems allowing owner operators to bethe masters of their own yachts. Sabre followers havewatched as the size of the yachts we offer has shiftedwith the times. FMI: www.sabreyachts.com.

In January,the first hull was be-ing readied for thedeck to join to thehull, and the deckhardware was beingplaced, nearly readyto handle the lines offwhat will be an 80-foot rig. Down below, the in-

terior spaces are welldefined, with 75 per-cent of the arrange-ments installed. TheBermuda 50s liftingkeel retracts into akeel trunk that isshaped in carbonfiber, and will be cladin the owners’ choice of wood.

Mayflower II arrived at MysticSeaport, Mystic, Conn., late in 2014after being towed from Plymouth,Mass., for a restoration in the mu-seum’s Henry B. duPont Preserva-tion Shipyard. Restoration workwill honor Mayflower II’s originalconstruction and traditional build-ing methods, with the goal ofrestoring the ship to her originalstate when she first arrived to Ply-mouth in 1957. Inspections in 2013 revealed that

Mayflower IIwas in need of a majorrefit, which is normal for a 57-year-old wooden ship. Plimoth Planta-tion recently completed some majorrepairs so the ship could safely con-tinue operations on the Plymouthwaterfront. These efforts were theinitial steps toward addressing thelong-term restoration plan, whichwill follow three phases: survey,document and restore.A comprehensive marine survey

will be completed by Paul Haley ofCapt. G.W. Full & Associates, in Or-leans, Mass. This is the same firmthat surveyed the whaler CharlesW. Morgan, the USS Constitutionand the USS Constellation. Stone

and iron ballast will be completelyremoved for the first time since theship’s construction to allow properinspection of the bilge area. Thescope and plan for this winter’srestoration work will largely be de-termined by the needs identifiedonce the ship is out of the waterand the ballast is removed.Throughout the restoration, the

public will have the opportunity toview the ship during the Museum’soperating hours, and the plan wasto permit people to board the shipon land beginning in mid-February.

If repairs go as planned,Mayflower II is expected to returnto Plymouth in May 2015. Therestoration of the 57-year-oldwooden ship will be carried outover several years, with the shipspending winter and spring atMystic Seaport and returning toPlymouth each summer and fall.The project is scheduled for comple-tion before 2020 – the 400th an-niversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival inNorth America.

A team of 15 volunteers at the Herreshoff Marine Museum,in Bristol, R.I., is finishing, from a bare fiberglass hull, a one-sixth scale, museum-quality model of Reliance, the Her-reshoff-designed and -built 1903 America’s Cup winner.Project Manager is Arthur (Sandy) Lee. Owned by CorneliusVanderbuilt III, and skippered by Capt. Charlie Barr, the 144-foot Nat Herreshoff-designed Reliance was victorious over SirThomas Lipton’s Shamrock III in a three-race competition.The 33-foot model will educate visitors on the beauty of

these large, extreme boats – and to illustrate Capt. Nat’s en-gineering, design and manufacturing genius. Its mast will bemore than 37 feet high compared with Reliance’s 220-footspar. As of mid-February, a fiberglass hull, wood rudder, alu-minum-tube mast, and solid-wood topmast had been pro-cured. The hull was built to scale by Marine Concepts inFlorida. The original Reliance was built of bronze plating onan “eggshell-steel frame.” By mid-February, North Carolina twine and cordage maker

Martin Combs had delivered the full allotment of scale 7/32-inch and 1 1/2-inch through four-inch manila. Reliance carried3,000 feet of four-inch manila for her 16,200 square feet ofsail. Museum personnel also have been busy worming, parcel-ing and serving wire rope: FMI: www.therelianceproject.com.

Several years ago Barry Worthing, ofPortland, Maine, started dreamingabout a sailing/rowing dory he coulduse on Maine’s lakes and bays. Hewanted a boat that could be handledsolo, but could accommodate friendsand family. His search led him to Com-pass Project.Barry commissioned the Deblois St.

Dory, under construction by the Bidde-ford Middle and High School boat-building crews. With the help ofinstructors Shane Hall and MargaretMountcastle, volunteers Fred Fowler,David Fernald and Charlie Higgins, aswell as input from designer ClintChase, the crew will launch the dorynext spring in the Saco River.Barry learned of Compass Project

when his nephew, Jake Anderson, wasa student at Compass Project. Jakewent on to work for Chase, a local de-signer of boat kits and former Compass Project Pro-gram Director. When his uncle started looking for adory, Jake knew the perfect boat and the perfectbuilders. After speaking with Compass Project’s Shane

Hall, Barry discovered that he could commission a De-blois St. Dory, ensuring that he’d get the boat hewanted while supporting our work with at-risk kids.FMI: www.compassproject.org.

SW Boat is building a Beal 44 for ‘Wicked Tuna’ cable showA Calvin Beal-designed 44-foot Downeast-style com-

mercial fishing boat is being built by SW Boatworks, inLamoine, Maine for a tunaboat skipper participating inNational Geographic Channel’s “Wicked Tuna” cableshow. The new boat will be christened Tuna.com.Capt. Dave Carraro met with SWB owner Stewart

Workman to discuss a new vessel, and he came awaywith a bug in his ear about the Calvin Beal 44. The 44,with great stability, versatility, and a spacious workingarea, was designed for offshore commercial fishing. Hermaximum beam is a whopping 17 feet, six inches.Stewart showed Capt. Dave a recently finished 44, and

Capt Dave knew immediately that this was what hewanted. Stewart and Capt. Dave designed the layout forthe new vessel, and settled on a larger wheelhouse anddeck to fill the needs of the “Wicked Tuna” show as wellhis main business, charter fishing.Tuna.com’s hull and deck were completed in the lay up

shop in July and moved to the finish shops directly af-terwards. Throughout the process, Capt Dave has beenavailable, not only by phone but also as part of the crew.He and his first mate, Sandro, have been helping bysanding, grinding, and building deck space. Capt. Davesaid he had never seen a complete build, and was excitedwith the new experience.

During the construction, Capt. Dave has been able tosecure quite a few sponsorships for the new vessel, in-cluding CAT, Pompanette, Northern Lights and DiamondSea Glaze. In early March, Tuna.com was in Phase III, which in-

cludes working on primer and gelcoat on the wheelhouseand deck. Once this is completed, the crew will startphase IV: hook-ups, wiring, electronics and windows. AnApril launch is planned. FMI: www.swboatworks.com

The Bohndell familystarted out inThomaston, in the mid1860's as riggers.

Schooner ANNIE 1901 built in Rockport,

rigged by Bohndell

They moved north toRockport - across thestreet from our presentlocation - just a few years later. At that time, theyexpanded into the sailmaking business. The business waspassed from father to son for three generations. Bob start-

ed as an apprentice inthe spring of 1973. Wepurchased the businessin 1980 with two part-ners, Del Babb andMac McMullen, andbought Mac's shareout within a couple ofyears.Del

remains our partner to this day. In thespring of 1994 we moved to our currentbuilding. When Bob started in the busi-ness, they were still doing a lot of handsewing, and cotton canvas was still popu-lar with the schooners.

Roller furlers for genoas were primitive and unreliable, somost people still hanked on their sails. Computers, muchless CAD equipment were unimagined! What an amaz-ing ride it has been - and there are so many more boats inevery harbor on the coast. Who would have thought?

LAST WORD/Russ Roth

How to keep your boat-mover happy

We very rarely if ever, see Independent BoatHaulers’ Rick upset. This particular springlaunch day, when climbing out of his truck, it

was obvious that he was not happy.“Russ would you please teach a course on how to get

your boat ready to launch?” said Rick. For the secondtime that week he had a boat on the launch ramp,trailer in the water and no engine. In both cases, theowners had neglected to test their engines beforelaunch. The boat this particular day still had hoses dis-connected from an engine repair as yet unfinished.Not completely sure if he was serious, my response

was, “No, but I will write an article for Points East onthe subject.” Rick thought that was great. We laughedand went on with our days.So now it’s Jan. 1, and I’m sitting at my desk with

my boat “to do” list. I’m not an engine mechanic, andhave never professed to be an expert on any boat re-

lated subject. What I am is a guy with a plan that I’mwilling to share. For those of you who are boat “ex-perts,” you can stop rolling your eyes and go on to thenext article.One of the more important things that Marty and I

do for Skiya is put her away clean and dry. It’s amaz-ing all of the time and maintenance this save us in thespring. The salt and dirt from the sailing season onlygets harder to remove as the months pass. Not to men-tion the mold and mildew from putting a cover over awet boat. We also leave our hatches ajar so we get aircirculating through the boat all winter.The other thing that we have done is build a frame

for our cover that is tall enough to work under in thespring. On Skiya that means doing routine enginemaintenance in a warm, dry environment. So here is what I feel comfortable doing on my en-

gine. Again, I’m not a diesel mechanic, and I think it

IBH's Rick likes being a happy man.

is very important to be on a first-name basis with yourlocal professional.Fuel filters: Change the primary and secondary

fuel filters every spring. Look at the filters. Are theyreally dirty? You may want to speak with your me-chanic about fuel polishing. We did this on Skiya, andit made a huge difference in our engine’s performance.Impeller: Change the raw water impeller annually.

Every time we try to get anotheryear out of an impeller, it alwayscomes out with cracked or bro-ken vanes. It’s just not worth thehassle of a breakdown on the wa-ter. From experience, I can guar-antee you that it will happen atthe worst possible time.Alternator belt: Change each

spring. They stretch and slip asthey age. Not to mention the nicescreeching noise they makewhen you start your engine.Engine oil: Change it. I put

Skiya to bed in the fall withfresh oil. In the spring, I run itfor a few weeks, then change itagain. I think this is better thanleaving dirty oil in the engine allwinter and then changing it inthe spring. Batteries:We take our batter-

ies home and put a charge onthem over the winter. If you leftyours on the boat, inspect themfor corrosion and cracks. Chargethem fully before launch. Makesure they are holding the charge.Hoses:They get old and brittle over time. Give them

a visual inspection for leaks while the engine is cold,and then again while the engine is warm and running.This past spring we found one leak and a few smallcracks. The end result was, we changed out all of thecoolant hoses on the engine.Hose clamps: Tighten everyone you can see. Thru-hulls: I test and lube all of Skiya’s thru-hull

fittings before launch. Every once and a while, I findone that has frozen tight over the winter. It’s mucheasier to deal with this situation when the boat is ondry land.Zincs and heat exchanger: Replace the zinc in the

heat exchanger every year. Open up the ends of theheat exchanger and clean out any weed or other con-taminants.Here’s how we address other of Skiya’s systems prior

to launch:Steering cables and rudder bearings: Every-

thing should be lubed and inspected before launch.

Freshwater system: Reconnect and test it. Putsome fresh water in the tanks and check for leaks.Bilge pump: Confirm that your bilge pump is work-

ing. Ours was working intermittently at the end of lastseason and is due for replacement before launch. Run the engine:We run Skiya’s engine as soon as

the above maintenance is complete. If you have a prob-lem, it is better to find it sooner rather than later. Run

your engine again just beforelaunch. We run ours long enoughto bring the water temp up to170 degrees.Cover and frame: This

brings us to the point that thecover and frame is off and storedfor another year. The bottom hasbeen sanded and painted. Theprop is polished and greased.The hull is cleaned and polished. Mast and fittings: Don’t for-

get to inspect your mast and it’sfittings. Last year we found abroken wire in our baby stay.Lube everything that twists orturns. Skiya’s mast also getswashed and polished beforelaunch. We store our mast undera cover all winter, and it is stillneeds cleaning in the spring. Mast wires and lights:

Check all of the mast wires andthe lights they connect to. Dothey light up when connected toa battery? Fixing it now is somuch easier than trying to do it50 feet off the deck in a bosun’s

chair. Just ask Marty.Always use new cotter pins, and lube your turnbuck-

les. Your rigger will thank you for this. We have alsofound that, when there’s a line of boats to be launched,those with a history of being prepared get launchedfirst.Raw-water intake: There is one last thing to check

as your boat is sliding into the water, and Rick is wait-ing for you to start your engine. Make sure the raw-water intake is open. I see this happen over and overagain. You close it in the fall to keep the critters fromcrawling inside, and you forget to open it in the spring.It’s happened to me, and, thankfully, there was some-one standing by the side of the ramp to yell, “Hey Russ,you’re not putting out any water.”Good luck with your launch this spring, and see you

out on the water.

Russ and Marty Roth sail their C&C 40 Skiya out ofPortsmouth (N.H.) Harbor and Rockland, Maine.

Back in the rig, Rick is smiling, as Russ andMarty's Skiya slides uneventfully into the waterfor another season.
